Hope nobody minds but a few people have asked about what brands of other cookware (besides pressure cookers) that people recommend. I have suggested Scanpan Ceramic Titanium a couple of times. Gave Scanpan a call this week to ask a few questions about their products. The person I talked with asked me about the pan that I own. It ends up that the pan I bought about 10 months ago is a generation older than the latest surface (NEW TEK) of their cookware. They are going to send me a new pan ($80.00 retail price) for FREE when I send my old one back. I'd say that's great customer service.
